The Elusive Wow tells the story of the Wow! signal—one of the most intriguing radio signals ever seen by searches for broadcasts from the stars. Author Robert Gray reports on the original detection and tells of his searches for the signal, showing examples of what searchers see with interstellar radios. In addition to telling the tale of the elusive signal, Gray surveys the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, also known as SETI—explaining why many scientists think Others might exist on other worlds and how we might find them. Gray´s scientific work has appeared in journals such as Astrophysical Journal and Icarus, and in magazines like Sky & Telescope.

In a special section on the search for extraterrestrials, ´´Where Are They?´´ explores how likely alien civilizations are to exist, and ´´Where They Could Hide´´ discusses the fact that no SETI program has ever found a verifiable alien radio signal. In ´´Intergalactically Speaking,´´ the vastness and vagaries of space will force interstellar correspondents into extreme measures, if we are to make a credible search for extraterrestrial life.

Since the first Martian ´´canals” were charted in 1877, space aliens have captivated skygazers, night travelers, and television-watchers worldwide. Polls show that nearly half of all Americans believe in extraterrestrials, and many are convinced they’ve visited Earth. A fair number of scientists also suspect that aliens exist, and for decades they’ve been seriously searching - using powerful antennas and computers to scan for radio waves coming from other star systems. This engaging memoir reveals the true story of the Search for ExtraterrestrialIntelligence (SETI), and discloses what we may very soon discover. Chronicling the program’s history with insight and humor, SETI senior astronomer Seth Shostak assures us that if there is sentient life in the universe, we are within decades of picking up its signal. Methodically busting urban legends about alien crash landings, crop circles, and the like, Shostak pits scientific truth against speculation and delivers important news on the state of our knowledge. He answers a host of questions about SETI, including where its antennas are aimed…how we know which frequency to monitor…what our response might be…and why, if a signal is detected, ´´it will be one that’s deliberately beamed into space, not the Klingon equivalent of I Love Lucy.” Contrary to popular opinion, any aliens found by SETI will not resemble the squishy, big-eyed creatures on cinema screens. Rather, they will have already invented their successors: super smart post-biological thinking machines vastly beyond our own capabilities. Edgy, amusing, and remarkably profound, Confessions of an Alien Hunter addresses the startling possibilities awaiting us in deep space and in humankind’s own future. 1. Language: English.

How often have you had to listen to a girl complaining about some hot guy she´s crazy about? She describes how badly he treats her and how stubborn he is. She tells you that he won´t do anything for her, and he never calls. While you sit there listening, nodding, and agreeing, you think, But I treat you amazing. Why don´t you want me? This girl is describing an alpha male to you. She is telling you how horrid he is to her and at the same time expressing how much she wants him. To most men, this is confusion personified; they simply can´t understand why she can´t see that the nice, loving, and attentive guy she dreams of is sitting next to her. The major mistake in this kind of thinking is that you are assuming women know what they want. They don´t, or at least if they do, they certainly don´t say it out loud. Women claim they want nice, gentle, and loving men. While these traits are benefits, they are not the causes of the initial attraction. Shockingly, these qualities repel more women than they attract. When it comes to seduction, nice guys really do finish last! Forget deep-space exploration, hunting for extraterrestrial life, or even searching out long-lost civilizations. In this book, world-renowned seduction psychology expert Seventy Seven is going to finally uncover the greatest mystery in the universe...how to get any woman you desire by giving her what she really want sand not what she says she wants. Use the techniques in this book, and I guarantee you will get friend zoned less, get much hotter girls than you ever have before, and get as much a sex as you want! 1. Language: English.

Scientists have been searching for aliens in our solar system and beyond, but have not yet found evidence that life exists beyond Earth. SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, has been scanning the stars for alien radio beacons for 50 years. Radio and TV broadcasts have been leaking from Earth´s atmosphere for over a century, and these traveling time capsules could eventually reach a broader audience than ever imagined. Neil and Lynne review the methods used to locate aliens, and discuss what to do if you´re ever abducted. 1. Language: English. Narrator: Neil deGrasse Tyson.
